Upper arm replacement with spacer and rear shocks and blocks. Seems like a good price and easy install. Anyone familiar with these?

My opinion is that it will put a lot of stress on the cv joints. Without lowering the differential, the angle would be too sharp. again my opinion.

I installed one similar to this on my buddys silverado, with the aftermarket uppercontroll arms and it being only three inches i think you should be fine.

Your cv angles will be extremely severe and you'll destroy them. If you are 2wd it wouldn't be as much of an issue as long as that UCA corrects the ball joint angle.

I wouldn't like the CV angles on this. I will say though, RC is competitive as hell with their pricing, damn!

That almost 1/2 what other kits like this I have seen have cost.

No way. With the angles you will put too much stress on those CV's. I got my 4" for $800 locally. I would not chance those angles
